Unmodded tubs get more FAE than traditional monos. I base this off of air currents and evaporation rates when was experimenting with whether a unmod could work well. Basically like removing all poly/tape from the top holes.

Modded, or unmodded managing lots of tubs is a different beast than a handful of tubs.

Yes it is. With unmodded tubs(sterlite) you need spacers of sorts for the lids otherwise the bottom tubs will suffer. You'll want a fan in the room modded or unmodded but not pointing at the tubs. I had a ceiling fan when I did them. Light was provided by indirect sunlight with a few scattered lights.

Clean spawn is key. Go look at filthyknees thread

The holes are bigger and they're open with no tape or poly in them.

When the mushrooms drop spores the spores deposit all around the air gaps by the lids. Big purple streaks if I let a tub sporulate. You tell me how spores deposit around the air gaps in the lid without FAE. The spores uncovered the air currents. Like using smoke in a wind tunnel

There's no spore deposits uncovering what air currents exist in traditional monos because they get less air exchange.

The air gaps in my lid would be like putting 2.5 inch diameter holes in the top of a monotub and leaving them uncovered

Ive done like as many as 20 unmodified monotubs at once and over 30 shoeboxes at once.

Wouldnt the spore load just be more evenly dispersed because there is more even airflow instead of concentrating in 2 places?

well the heat and humidity is pushing up and out seeping out of the top of the tub
when u run a unmodded tub the tub fills up like a pocket of hot humid stale air is pushing out the top of the lid it pushing not sucking in it doesnt have holes to mix w fresh air being sucked in by the holes through the poly thats how its not allowing a mix w fesh air making the evviorment in the tub a even mix
